The Life of Paul for Today Reviews

It's difficult to find an introduction to the life and ministry of Paul that isn't either a summary of dry academic material or shallow sentimentalism. Lyle Vander Broek has given us a book on Paul--introducing readers to both the book of Acts and Paul's own letters--that is truly accessible and thoughtful. Even better, it nourishes Christian faith by explaining how Paul's life remains instructive today. Matthew L. Skinner, Associate Professor of New Testament, Luther Seminary and author of The Trial Narratives: Conflict, Power, and Identity in the New Testament The Life of Paul for Today helped our Adult Bible Study group understand the pastoral and personal side of Paul and increased their appreciation of how Paul's Letters speak to the contemporary church. Cindy Shepherd, Pastor Philo Presbyterian Church, Philo, Illinois
